[car home Experience] If you know anything about cars, when you hear the brand Volvo, what words will flash in your mind for the first time? Safe? Northern Europe? Keep a low profile? Taste? No matter what word crosses your eyes, I believe it will not be a description of sports, fashion and fashion. Yes, Volvo has always been a brand famous for its commitment to automobile safety technology. It comes from Sweden in northern Europe, but now it belongs to Ford, and its impression has always been low-key, unobtrusive and not so eye-catching. However, today’s red Volvo S40 may break your old impression.

　　Note: The model we experienced this time is Volvo S40 2.4i Zia version, which may be different from other models in terms of color, parameters and configuration.

● Appearance-at first glance, it is better to look carefully.

　　S40 is a compact model, which comes from Ford C1 platform. As many people know, the products of this platform include Focus and Mazda 3. The other two models are well-known for their manipulation and sports, and they are all the rage among young people. What about S40?

　　At first glance, I was pleasantly surprised to find that this is a red S40. This is not because I am a woman, so I like red, but because although almost all models will have red without exception, not all cars can look good in red. And I like the red color of this Volvo S40 very much, maybe it just fits my age and aesthetics.

　　At first glance, the front of S40 is straight and restrained, with simple lines, not very streamlined and round, and not very tough and masculine. The chrome-plated upper intake is not as exaggerated as the popular "big mouth", and the logo of "VOLVO" stands calmly in the middle, as if it is lacking. But just like the "second-eye beauty", after a few more eyes, you can find S40’s character from various details.

　　Two headlights with black edges are as bright and angry as the eyes of a "gourd doll", and the flat and ultra-wide lower air intake is slightly fierce. The most characteristic angle is from the front side. The headlights with black edges, the wide and flat lower grille with black, and the powerful engine compartment line are quoted to Fang Ping’s front face, which has a fierce lion’s head effect.

　　The joints between the hood and headlights are even and detailed, and there are no obvious defects. The welding spots on the side of the door are symmetrically distributed, and the treatment effect is also fine.

　　From the side, it can be found that the engine cabin line passes through the A-pillar all the way to the rear, which outlines a high waistline and dynamic shape, and directly intersects with the arc of the roof at the rear of the car, making the ending a little more movement and dexterity besides being angular and heavy.

　　S40’s tail line is straight, and the two stepped taillights create a sense of integrity with angular edges, which is also surrounded by a circle of black borders. Because there are no tiny lines and no excessive intersections and overlaps, the whole tail shape is quite simple, and the broad protrusions make the layers distinct. If the plump and rounded hip design of the car please men, perhaps the style like S40 can win the love of female consumers.

　　Generally speaking, the appearance of Volvo S40 left me with a unique impression. It is angular but not too straightforward, with personality but not very ostentatious, passionate but restrained, impulsive but secretly hidden.

● Interior-pure black interior+suspended center console

　　This red S40 2.4i Zia version is matched with a pure black interior, instead of gray or beige, which is always used in household models. The visual effect brought by the black interior is first of all a cool and sporty feeling, which is easy to arouse people’s desire to drive and control, unlike the light gray or beige interior, which will make people relax and bring a soothing and fresh feeling. From this perspective, S40 still takes more care of the individual needs of young consumers.

　　The steering wheel wrapped in leather is moderate in size, and the fineness and friction of leather are also very close. The multi-function keys on the left side of the steering wheel are used to operate cruise control, while the right side controls entertainment information, such as radio and CD.

　　The style of the dashboard is Volvo’s simple style, which looks only clear and easy to identify during the day, but the effect of luminous is still quite beautiful.

　　S40 has a well-known bright spot, that is, its floating center console. In recent years, with the popularity of various digital products such as thin and light mobile phones, I believe that this beautiful and lightweight center console made of matt metal panels can bring many young people a sense of satisfaction with fashion and scientific and technological effects.

　　There are four large knobs on the center console, which are used to control the audio and air conditioning, and the buttons are relatively small. From the perspective of the fineness of workmanship, we can’t help but draw a conclusion that we get what we pay for. Although the models developed on the same platform, it is obvious that Volvo S40’s internal material selection and workmanship level are far better than those of Fox and Mazda 3.

　　The keyhole is designed at the lower left of the air-conditioning outlet above the center console. The multi-function display screen has a relatively small area and displays conventional information such as air conditioning, sound and time. What is unsatisfactory is that the information display is actually in English. However, the adjustment of air-conditioning blowing mode is to separate a portrait to indicate that the style is more intuitive and novel.

　　The exterior rearview mirror can be adjusted electrically. If you want to fold it away, you need to press the L and R keys at the same time. The shape of the handbrake is also unique, and it also has a floating effect.

　　The cosmetic mirror on the sun visor is believed to be very popular with ladies. Both sides of the mirror are equipped with lighting, which makes the light sufficient and uniform, and the area of the mirror is also large, which is not as big as a matchbox on some models, and its practicality is still relatively high.

● Space-not bad for a compact car.

　　The body size of Volvo S40 is 4476×1770×1454mm, which is smaller in length, width and height than sedan Focus’s 4480×1840×1500mm, but the wheelbase of 2640mm is the same as that of Focus and Mazda 3. In the actual experience, we also feel that its internal space is still good.

　　Although S40 takes simplicity as its concept, there is no shortage of humanized design in the interior space, which is quite considerate. In addition to the conventional glove box, the storage compartment inside the car and the storage bag at the back of the front seat, there are elastic small storage bags at the front edges of the front and rear seats. Although the volume of the glove box is not very large, it is equipped with anti-skid pads to prevent the goods in the box from rolling and causing damage when the vehicle is driving.

　　In order not to waste space, a shallow storage compartment is set behind the suspended center console, but only some flat items can be placed, otherwise it will shake when driving. The biggest disadvantage is that the storage compartment inside the door is small and there is no special glasses case.

　　Although the S40 looks like a four-door hatchback, in fact, its short tail is not integrated, the trunk is still opened separately, and the floor in the trunk is flat and the area is not small.

　　It is worth mentioning that, in addition to the electric adjustment function mentioned above, the front passenger’s seat can also be tilted forward, and with the rear seat that can be tilted 4 minutes on the right side, it can create an access road for carrying extra-long strip items, which is unique and valuable in design. Unfortunately, after our efforts, because the front headrest can’t be adjusted, the front passenger seat is adjusted to the rearmost position, and the headrest will still be stuck in the glove box after the chair back is put down, and it can’t be completely flat.

　　In terms of driving space, we found a male editor with a height of 178CM and a weight of 75KG to demonstrate, and found that the front head space of S40 is quite abundant, and the performance of the rear leg space is OK, but the head space in the rear row is slightly cramped. If it is a tall man with a height of more than 180CM, it may feel a little oppressive. After all, it is only a compact car, and objectively speaking, the space performance is normal, reasonable and better.

● Seat-lumbar adjustment is influenced by the height of the seat, which is more suitable for women.

　　The driver’s seat and the driver’s seat are all electric 8-way adjustment and manual lumbar support adjustment. The driver’s seat has three sets of memory functions. As mentioned earlier, the driving space of S40 is not bad, but it must be mentioned that the length of the seat cushion is sacrificed to a certain extent. After our actual measurement, the depth of the front and rear cushions is 480mm, which is shorter than that of the front seats of general compact cars. Although the shape of the seat is very good, it is very suitable for women to ride, but if it is changed to men, the front edge of the seat cushion is designed as a sofa-like edge, which will just be supported in the middle of the thigh, and it feels very uncomfortable.

　　The adjustment knobs of manual lumbar support are located on both sides of the seat. If the driver or passenger is male, the seat will not be adjusted too high, and this knob will be sandwiched between the seat and the central armrest, which is extremely inconvenient to operate. However, if the driver or passenger is female, the seat will be adjusted to ensure sufficient sight. At this time, the adjustment of the lumbar support is relatively convenient, and the operation of turning around and twisting the arm is also more difficult for the fatter person.

　　S40’s leather seat leather is good, which makes people feel comfortable. I believe Volvo, which has always advocated car safety, has also spent a lot of thought on the seat design. The front headrest is fixed and cannot be adjusted, but the height and angle are ideal, which can suit the riding posture of most people. The height of the rear headrest can be adjusted vertically, and it can also be pulled out and removed.

● other

　　The 2.4-liter naturally aspirated engine is in-line with 5 cylinders, and it is matched with a five-speed manual/automatic geartronic gearbox, which has an adaptive speed change mode, can automatically adapt to the driver’s driving style, and has a good stable output.

　　The maximum power of 2.4i engine appears at 6000rpm, and it can also provide up to 170 horsepower. At 4400 rpm, the output torque reaches 230Nm. Such data will not be too laborious to push a body like S40.

　　When the engine compartment cover of S40 is opened, it is found that besides the normal sound insulation cotton, there is also an air duct leading from the air inlet to the battery. It seems that it should be used to cool the battery, but we don’t understand why it is designed like this for the time being. Later, we will contact Volvo to consult about the purpose of this design and give you a definite answer.

　　There are as many as 8 airbags in the whole vehicle, which can automatically control the inflation ratio and explosion speed according to the impact force, thus avoiding the secondary injury caused by airbags. WHIPS head and neck safety protection system can automatically lift the headrest when a high-speed rear-end collision occurs, and disperse the huge impact force generated during the collision to reduce the damage to the head, neck and spine of the occupants.

　　In addition, in order to reserve enough impact buffer zone, VOLVO not only greatly reduced the load of the self-designed miniaturized transverse engine, but also adopted a more compact engine compartment layout, and even the collapse route of the battery was arranged in advance during the collision, so it can minimize the damage to the occupants in the car during the collision.

　　Conclusion:In fact, the price of Volvo S40 far exceeds that of ordinary compact cars, which makes it not a family car that most ordinary families can afford. However, through this static experience, we can see that Volvo not only insists on the safety concept advocated, but also makes some adjustments in vehicle design. At least S40 can make people feel its fashion and modernity from the outside to the inside. From the aspects of exterior and interior, technical content, safety performance and configuration, S40 is suitable for those friends who have unique tastes and do not blindly pursue large size and large space and earn a good income.

　　After watching the static experience of Volvo S40, you must want to know more about its handling performance in actual driving. Don’t argue, the evaluation article of S40 will be presented by the evaluation team of car home this Thursday. Be sure to watch it on time!

　　[car home News] Although the past 2018 was not a "good year" for many brands, for BYD, which has been deeply rooted in the field of new energy, this brand still maintained a high growth rate in the case of cold car market last year. Judging from the published data, BYD sold a total of 520,700 vehicles throughout the year, up 27.09% year-on-year. Among them, there are 247,800 new energy vehicles and 272,900 fuel vehicles, basically achieving an equal share of new energy and fuel vehicles. From the brand sales data, this achievement is still very good in the case of weak automobile market last year.

　　In the next 2019, BYD will have many new cars on the market. After our combing, BYD will launch three new energy vehicles, including (|)EV 600, Song MAX DM and e1(F0 EV). In addition, S1, Song and brand-new large and medium-sized riders will also join the battle. Let’s take a look at these new cars together.

● Song MAX DM

Time to market: within 2019
New car features: the styling design has been upgraded/the comprehensive torque is 740 Nm.

　　The plug-in hybrid version of Song MAX has made a lot of noise last year, and this car will be officially launched this year. After the new car adopts plug-in hybrid technology, the highest comprehensive torque reaches an astonishing 740 Nm, and the appearance is slightly different from that of the gasoline version, and the interior part is more scientific and technological.

　　In appearance, the design of the plug-in hybrid version of Song MAX is different from that of the gasoline version. For example, the style of the front grille will change, and the shape of the fog lighting strips on both sides will be slightly different. At the same time, this car is also equipped with multi-spoke wheels. The charging port of the car is located on the right rear fender.

　　In the interior part, this plug-in hybrid version is equipped with a rotatable large-size screen used in the official map earlier, which is more scientific and technological. In terms of details, the "Song" logo on the steering wheel of the plug-in hybrid version has become a blue font, and it also uses the same electronic gear as Song DM, which is very high-grade. In the back row, we can see that the car is equipped with rear air conditioning control buttons, 220V power supply, USB interface and so on.

　　In terms of power, the new car uses a 1.5T turbocharged engine with a 6-speed dual-clutch gearbox, and at the same time, it is equipped with front and rear dual motors. The maximum power of both motors is 110 kW and the maximum torque is 250 Nm. The comprehensive power and torque of the power system are 333kW and 740N·m respectively.

● Song MAX EV

Time to market: within 2019
New car features: different design/pure electric drive

　　This year, apart from the plug-in hybrid model, Song MAX is expected to launch. We also learned from the application information of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology that BYD has declared the pure electric version of Song MAX, a 6/7-seat MPV model with hot sales in the current market. This model inherits the family design of the fuel version, and the exterior design is only different in the middle net and the lower enclosure.

　　BYD Song MAX pure electric version has a body size of 4680*1810*1680mm and a wheelbase of 2785, which is completely consistent with the fuel version. The front face still uses the "Dragon Face" family design language. The difference from the fuel version lies in the design of the middle net, which adopts the plate array shape similar to armor, and the chrome-plated horizontal stripes in the fog light area are also slightly different from the fuel version. Tyre size is 225/50 R18, and the rim adopts ten-spoke slender stripe shape.

　　In terms of optional configuration, it is known that sunroof, luggage rack, keyless entry, lane keeping, privacy glass, panoramic image, side air curtain, wheel core cover, etc. will be installed on different versions of vehicles as optional accessories. In addition, we also see from the application information that the car is rated to carry 6/7 passengers, so it can be inferred that the car may launch two versions of 6-seat and 7-seat like a fuel car.

　　In terms of power, the pure electric version of BYD Song MAX will use a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a peak power of 120kW, and the power battery will use a ternary lithium battery with a maximum speed of 150 km/h. We know that BYD will digitally mark the cruising range of pure electric vehicles at the rear, but from the pictures provided by the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, it is difficult to determine whether the car is EV500 or EV600.

● Edit comments

　　Although Song MAX’s plug-in hybrid model is based on the gasoline version, it has been greatly improved in terms of vehicle performance. If nothing else, the comprehensive torque of 740 Nm alone is enough to join the "sports car" club, and its arrival is a boon for consumers who have certain requirements for vehicle performance. As for the pure electric version, BYD’s pure electric drive technology is also quite mature, so there is no need to worry about technology, and it is expected to have a good performance.

　　Combined with the information of the plug-in hybrid version of Song MAX and pure electric vehicles exposed this time, they will undoubtedly drop a blockbuster in the domestic MPV market after their launch. After all, hybrid or new energy MPVs are rare in the market, and BYD’s move will certainly enhance its competitiveness in the MPV model market.

● Tang EV
Time to market: February 2019
New car features: BYD SUV and new energy SUV product series flagship/Roewe and other brands are direct competitors.

　　Tang’s car is in the limelight in the new car market in 2018. In addition to the fuel version and plug-in hybrid version that have already been listed, the pure electric drive Tang EV model was also launched in June 2018, and it was opened at the Guangzhou Auto Show in 2018. Pre-sale,The pre-sale price range is 260,000-360,000 yuan.0-100km/h takes 4.5 seconds.

　　As a new member of the Tang family, the biggest change in the design of Xintang EV comes from the grille. The brand-new matrix grille is consistent with the concept car of the previous dynasty, and its shape is like the armor of the Qin Terracotta Warriors and Horses. At the same time, the front side of the car is surrounded by larger chrome decoration and its shape is sharper.

　　Viewed from the side, the side of the new car is consistent with the DM version, and adopts the hidden C-pillar and D-pillar design. It is worth mentioning that the car will be equipped with 265/40 R22 horse brand tires and Brembo’s six-piston calipers. It is difficult to see the difference between the tail shape and the Tang DM version, and the taillight group still uses integrated LED light source.

　　In terms of interior modeling, the interior of BYD Tang EV is consistent with the DM version of Tang, and the whole is very simple. The rotatable central control screen and full LCD instrument panel still appear on the new car, and the shift lever is replaced by an electronic gear lever. It is understood that the car will provide 2+3+2 and 2+3 seat layouts for consumers to choose from in the future.

　　In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 180 kW (245 HP). According to the application information, the new car will launch three kinds of endurance models: EV500, EV550 and EV600.

　　In the field of new energy, BYD is undoubtedly the leader of China brand car companies. After years of research and development, the plug-in hybrid technology of this enterprise has now entered the third generation product cycle, which is not only updated in technology, but also better in function and reliability. Pure electric vehicles have always been BYD’s main direction, so the arrival of Tang EV is not abrupt. It’s just that the pre-sale price of this new car up to 360,000 yuan after listing may discourage some consumers who pay attention to it. After all, there are plenty of options in this price range. Therefore, it also means that it has to face more pressure from competitors, but with the help of national policies and BYD’s own strength, I believe this car will have this good market prospect.

● Brand-new medium and large cars
Launch time: or in 2019
New car features: BYD’s new product sequence/expected to be adopted.

　　Speaking of the models in BYD’s product sequence, medium and large cars have always been the products that everyone is looking forward to. As early as 2015, there was news that BYD was developing a new medium and large car. According to BYD’s naming method, this car is likely to be named "Han".

　　At present, the specific shape of this car has not been exposed, but according to the information we obtained, BYD Han’s body length, width and height are 4950/1890/1490mm and the wheelbase is 2940mm, which is likely to be positioned as a medium-sized and large car. In other words, it will be the flagship model of BYD car products after its launch.

"Tesla model sp90d"

　　What is more noteworthy is that this car is equipped with a stronger plug-in hybrid system, which consists of a 2.0T engine and a 150 HP motor, while the four-wheel drive version will also use a 476 HP motor at the rear axle. Under such a powertrain blessing, BYD Han’s 0-100km/h acceleration time is expected to reach 2.9 seconds, reaching the same level as Tesla MODEL S P90D.

　　In addition, in terms of configuration, according to the information that has flowed out, this car is expected to be equipped with ACC adaptive cruise, electric suction door, head-up display, lane keeping assistance, electric rear spoiler, trunk that can be opened by induction, etc. Generally speaking, it is rich.

　　Although in recent years, China brands like to get together to release products in the SUV market, the car market can’t be ignored. As long as there are good products, there is no need for consumers to recognize them. BYD’s new generation Qin, which was listed soon, is such an example. Looking at BYD’s layout in the car market, the existing models are still concentrated in the field of compact cars. When it comes to medium and large cars, this brand has not been involved for the time being, but this level of models can play a role in enhancing the brand image and has a positive effect on the establishment of consumer confidence. Establishing the flagship product is the only way for a car company that wants to build a better brand, so we also expect this car to meet with you in recent years.

[ITBEAR technology information] on February 6 th, recently, BYD Qin family welcomed a new member-BYD Qin L. This new car has passed the declaration of the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, which indicates that it will meet with consumers soon. As an upgraded version of BYD Qin series, Qin L is positioned as a medium-sized car, which is between Qin and Han, providing more choices for the market.

It is reported that BYD Qin L has received much attention in the warm-up stage. Some bloggers broke the news that the starting price of the new car may be around 120,000 yuan, which is 20,000 yuan higher than the current Qin Plus DM-I. However, the difference of 20,000 yuan is not aimless, because Qin L will be the first vehicle equipped with DM5.0 technology, and its NEDC fuel consumption is only about 2.9L, which is far lower than the current 3.8L of Qin PLUS. This remarkable improvement will undoubtedly attract many consumers who have higher requirements for fuel consumption.

In terms of body size, BYD Qin L shows the advantages of medium-sized cars. Its length, width and height are 4830mm, 1900mm and 1495mm respectively, and its wheelbase reaches 2790 mm. This data is obviously larger than the existing Qin PLUS series models, which makes Qin L have more room to play in the internal space. At the same time, the total mass of the new car is 2035kg, and the kerb mass is 1660kg, which ensures the stability and safety of the vehicle.

In design, BYD Qin L continues BYD’s family-style "Dragon Face" design language. Its front face is equipped with a huge air intake grille, and it is available in two styles: hot stamping or not. Both sides of the grille are equipped with C-shaped air ducts, which makes the whole front look sporty. The side of the car body adopts smooth line design to create an elegant and dynamic car body posture.

In terms of power, BYD Qin L is equipped with an engine with a displacement of 1498ml, with a maximum power of 74kW. According to ITBEAR technology information, the new car will also adopt a brand-new hybrid system-the fifth-generation DM-i hybrid system, with a brand-new hybrid chassis code-named "P5" and a former McPherson rear four-bar independent suspension. This series of technical upgrades will make Qin L reach a higher level in power and economy. In addition, the new car also offers two pure electric cruising ranges of 60km and 90km, with corresponding battery capacities of 10.08kWh and 15.874kWh respectively.

Generally speaking, the appearance of BYD Qin L has undoubtedly brought new vitality to the medium-sized car market. Its upgraded size, design and power system make it a leader in its class. In the future, we have reason to expect BYD Qin L’s performance in the market.

Easy car original: With a budget of about 150,000 yuan, I plan to buy a pure electric vehicle with a pure electric cruising range of 600km. Is there a good choice? If you only look at the book data, BYD is a good choice in this price range.166,800 yuan can have a 600km high cruising range version., the cost performance is quite high.

The appearance of Qin PLUS EV is quite small "Han", andEquipped with a more secure blade battery., the configuration is not low, compared with the previous Qin EV models, it can be said thatReduce the price and increase the allocationYes.

Although the cost performance is very high, what is the driving texture of Qin PLUS EV? Can the real cruising range reach 600km? With these questions, let’s have a test together.

New car highlights first look:

1. It is equipped with a front permanent magnet synchronous motor with a maximum power of 135kW.measure with instruments0-100km/h acceleration time is 9.1s, and 100-0km/h braking distance is 38.2m..;

2. Power and chassis adjustment is mainly based on home comfort.Smooth and quiet brings more comfortable driving experience.;

3, fast charging speed to force, the actual measurement of Qin PLUS EV under comprehensive working conditionsReal pure electric cruising range can exceed 500km.;

4. Follow the family-style design style of BYD Longyan.Looks like a trumpet "".

The model we tested this time is the 2021 Qin PLUS EV 600km flagship model, which is the top model with a price of 166,800 yuan.

Permanent magnet synchronous motor mounted on top modelThe maximum power is 135kW and the maximum torque is 280 n m.The officially declared 0-50km/h acceleration time is 4 seconds.

The maximum power and torque of the permanent magnet synchronous motors equipped on the other three middle and low models are 100kW, 180N·m, and the 0-50km/h acceleration time is 5.5 seconds.

So what is its actual acceleration performance? First of all, let’s test its acceleration time of 0-100km/h and braking distance of 100-0 km/h.

Before the test, turn off the air conditioner, turn off the ESP body stability system and adjust the driving mode to SPORT mode. Finally measuredThe fastest acceleration time of Qin PLUS EV is 9.1 seconds., the bestThe braking performance is 38.2 meters..

As can be seen from the acceleration curve, during the acceleration process of Qin PLUS EV from 0 to 50 km/h, the response speed of the motor is faster, and the maximum acceleration can be reached soon after stepping on the switch. The final acceleration time of 0 to 50 km/h is 3.6 seconds, which is faster than the official data of 4 seconds.

After the maximum acceleration is maintained at 50km/h, it begins to decline, and the acceleration capacity of 50-100km/h in the second half also gradually decreases. However, during the whole rapid acceleration process, the power output is quite linear, and finally the speed exceeds 100km/h in 9.1 seconds.

Qin PLUS EV’s braking front section is sensitive, and the whole braking process is quite linear and stable, which can give us enough confidence. After many tests, the best braking distance is 38.2 meters, which can basically be controlled within 39 meters, and the performance is quite good.

Next, let’s talk about the driving experience of Qin PLUS EV. As a new energy family car, the overall adjustment of Qin PLUS EV is not surprising.Give priority to comfort.

Although the appearance is similar to BYD’s flagship model Han, the actual test drive is two completely different styles. Qin PLUS EV will not give us a passionate acceleration experience like Han.Smooth and comfortableIs the direction it is striving for.

Although the motor power of Qin PLUS EV with a maximum power of 135kW is not particularly abundant, it is more than enough to meet the needs of daily use.

At the beginning, the dynamic response of Qin PLUS EV will not be particularly positive. Especially in ECO mode, the initial response of the switch will be "lazy", and the acceleration process will be gentle, which will bring about the speed increase in no hurry.A relatively comfortable and stable driving experience is also valued by consumers who pay attention to family cars, and it can also save some energy.

Of course, if you want to "go wild", you can switch to SPORT driving mode. In this mode, the switch of Qin PLUS EV will become more sensitive and the speed will climb much faster. Especially in the high-speed road conditions where overtaking is needed,Qin PLUS EV in SPORT mode will give us more confidence..

In SPORT mode, the acceleration ability is indeed improved, but the comfort and ride comfort are greatly reduced. When accelerating rapidly, it will bring a certain sense of dizziness to drivers and passengers. It is not recommended to use this driving mode for a long time.It is enough to recommend using ECO/NORMAL mode for daily driving, which can bring more comfortable driving experience.

Qin PLUS EV’s kinetic energy recovery system is divided intoStandard feedbackandGreater feedbackTwo levels, the power recovery under the standard feedback is moderate, and the vehicle can slowly brake linearly and smoothly after releasing the switch.

In the larger feedback mode, there will be more energy recovery, but the disadvantage is that there will be some drag and drop, and the comfort will be reduced.

In terms of steering strength, Qin PLUS EV followsSteering style of family car with low speed, light weight and high speed.It is relatively flexible and light to drive. However, the steering virtual position still exists, so you need to be extra careful when the speed is fast and cornering, and try to slow down as much as possible.

Qin PLUS EV’s chassis suspension is also a comfortable adjustment style.Tougher suspension can well filter out the small bumps on the road.. However, in the face of speed bumps or potholes, you can still obviously feel the body jumping up and down, which still needs improvement.

In terms of NVH, Qin PLUS EV has no influence of engine noise, and the quietness of the whole vehicle is quite excellent when driving at low speed. However, when the speed exceeds 80km/h, tire noise and wind noise are more obvious, but the whole is still within the acceptable range.

In order to understand the noise situation of Qin PLUS EV more intuitively, we also tested its noise level in the car of 40-120 km/h.

The test results show that the noise decibel value of Qin PLUS EV in each speed segment is well controlled. The noise in the 40km/h car is 55.4 decibels, and the noise at the high speed of 120km/h is 66.2 decibels.

Here, for example, the noise value of the computer mainframe is generally about 55 decibels, while the voice of two people chatting and talking at a distance of one meter face to face is generally about 60 decibels. It can be seen that the noise decibel value data of Qin PLUS EV is still good.

After the overall test drive experience, power and acceleration are obviously not the strengths of Qin PLUS EV, and the word sports is basically irrelevant to it, giving us more.A smooth and comfortable driving experience.Is the direction it is striving for.

After talking about the driving experience, let’s test the actual cruising range of Qin PLUS EV, and test it in the daily commuting environment to see if its real pure electric cruising range can satisfy us.

Before starting the test, we need to fully charge Qin PLUS EV. The 600km version is equipped with a capacity of71.7kWh blade battery, the official declared fast charge.It only takes 30 minutes to charge the battery from 30% to 80%..

Before charging, Qin PLUS EV has 36% remaining power, and the dashboard shows that it takes 52 minutes to fully charge.It took 68 minutes to fully charge., charging power up to 60kW. If you start charging from 0%, you can fill it in less than two hours, and the charging efficiency is still relatively high.

In this endurance test, we mainly focus on the urban traffic congestion near Pearl River New Town, Xinguang Expressway and Nansha Port Expressway, and the ratio of urban traffic, expressway and expressway is basically 1:1:1.

When the Qin PLUS EV is fully charged, it is already 19 o’clock in the evening, which is at the peak of work in Guangzhou.At full charge, the remaining cruising range of Qin PLUS EV is 600km..

Before starting the test, I reset the dashboard mileage 1 and energy consumption curve chart to zero. The air conditioning temperature is set at 24℃, and the air volume is in second gear.

Choose NORMAL driving mode, choose larger feedback mode with strong energy feedback, and then start the test. However, I was the only one in the car during the test, and I was basically in no-load condition.

Depart from Tianhe Stadium, go to and from Xinguang Expressway, pass through Guangzhou Grand Theatre and Central Lake Park of University Town, and finally reach Nansha. The test is about 100km one-way, and the feedback mode is maintained throughout, mainly in ECO mode, but the driving mode will be switched according to the road conditions. After arriving at the destination, I will go back to work in the morning rush hour the next day.

In the end, I drove the Qin PLUS EV for a total of 205.5km, with an average speed of 38km/h, which consumed 41% of the electricity. The table shows that the remaining cruising range is 354km, which is 246km away.

At this point, the energy consumption curveThe average power consumption in the last 50 kilometers is 12.9 kW h/100 km., andThe actual average power consumption should be 14.3 kW h/100 km..

Under comprehensive working conditions,The ratio of power failure is about 1:1.197., which is equivalent to the cruising range of 1.197km for every 1km I drive Qin PLUS EV.

Under the comprehensive working conditions close to the daily car environment, convert it.The real cruising range of Qin PLUS EV is 501km.Of course, this is already a very good performance.

If you drive in the whole ECO mode and drive until the power is completely consumed,Its real cruising range is over 520km, which is no problem at all.. Calculated by commuting 60km to and from work every day,Just charge it once a week.

In terms of appearance, Qin PLUS EV adopts BYD’s latest.EV Dragon Face family design language, continuing the design style of Han EV.

The overall design of the appearance is also very similar to that of Qin PLUS DM-i, and the design of connecting matte silver chrome trim with LED headlight group is consistent with Qin Plus DM-I..

The front face is unique to EV models.Closed grille designDistinguish it from Qin plus DM-I. The lower enclosing area is outlined by black decorative strips that run horizontally, which enhances the visual width of the front face. The LOGO logo of "Qin" is also adopted.Relief design, more exquisite and beautiful.

Arrow-feather LED headlights are blackened, which is more design-oriented. The whole system comes standard with headlight on/off function in advance, and the middle and high models also haveIntelligent far and near light function.

Coming to the body side of Qin PLUS EV, the modeling design is consistent with Qin PLUS DM-i model. The smart waistline running through the front and back and the slip-back design create a forward dive posture, which is more versatile.

In terms of body size,The length, width and height of Qin PLUS EV are 4765/1837/1515mm respectively, and the wheelbase is 2715mm.. Compared with competing models, it does not fall in the wind.

The test drive model is equipped with18-inch silver-black two-color aluminum alloy rim, full of sports. Matching it is Germany, which focuses on energy conservation.Horse brand EcoContact 6 series tires, with specifications of 235/45 R18.

The sleek and full tail design is also not much different from Qin PLUS DM-i, and the multi-line outline makes the tail layered.

After blackening, the penetrating LED taillights still maintain a good visual effect after lighting. The duckling tail design is matched with the latest font suffix of "Build Your Dreams", which has high recognition.

Qin PLUS EV interior design also adopts family-style design elements.Design of embracing cockpitWith the suspended central control large screen, it highlights the scientific and technological atmosphere of the cockpit. With the combination of black and brown colors, irregular silver decorative strips in the central control area and piano paint panel, the interior texture is quite good.

The LCD instrument panel adoptsEmbedded design, can display the vehicle information is more comprehensive, however.Small sizeVisually, it seems stingy.

12.8-inch adaptive rotating suspended central control large screen, equipped withDiLink 3.0 Zhilian system. Support intelligent voice interaction, play third-party applications such as WeChat and Tik Tok, and support OTA upgrade, with high playability.

Qin PLUS EV adopts an integrated seat design, which has a good wrapping, and the whole system is equipped with a 6-way electrically adjustable main driver’s seat. However, the seat padding is hard and the ride comfort is average. Moreover, the seat is not designed to be perforated, and the heat dissipation of the seat is relatively general in hot summer.

The top model is also equipped with front and rear seat heating function, and it will be more perfect if the seat ventilation function can be added later.

In terms of ride space, the experiencers with a height of 182cm sit in the front and rear rows of Qin PLUS EV respectively. The head space in the front row is about 4 fingers, the head space in the back row is average, and there is room for more than one punch in the legs. The overall performance is basically consistent with Qin PLUS DM-i, which is enough to meet the needs of daily use.

Summary:At present, there are not many pure electric vehicles with 150,000 NEDC pure electric cruising range exceeding 600km. Qin PLUS EV is one of them, and its cost performance is quite high. With the blessing of large-capacity blade battery and excellent motor adjustment, we have measured that its average power consumption is 14.3 kW h/100 km, and the real cruising range can reach more than 500km, which has been quite excellent.

Its comfortable and smooth driving experience is also in line with the needs of family cars. Although the acceleration of 9.1s is a little worse, the power is enough to meet daily needs. If your budget is limited and you want to buy a pure electric sedan with a high cruising range, then Qin PLUS EV will be a worthy choice.

On March 8th, BYD Qin PLUSDM-i, a "fuel car disruptor", went on the market, with four configurations, and the subsidized price was 105,800-145,800 yuan. Its revolutionary fuel consumption of 3.8 liters, long battery life of 1,245 kilometers and breaking 100 in 7.3 seconds will completely change users’ perception of compact cars.

According to the pure electric cruising range, the new car has released four configurations, namely, 55KM distinguished model, 55KM flagship model, 120KM distinguished model and 120KM flagship model, and the subsidized prices are 105,800 yuan, 119,800 yuan, 129,800 yuan and 145,800 yuan respectively.

Technological subversion, it is necessary to set a new benchmark for cars.

The exterior design of Qin PLUSDM-i follows the essence of DragonFace family design language. The front and rear of the car are designed with horizontal widening. The arrow feather dzi LED headlights and the 5mm dragon claw mark penetrating LED taillights echo each other, and the lateral lines are full and full of tension, making the overall design more youthful and dynamic.

The embracing wide-range suspension cockpit creates an open sensory experience, equipped with the iconic 12.8-inch intelligent suspension rotating screen, equipped with DiLink3.0 intelligent network connection system, cloud services, remote driving, NFC car keys for mobile phones, OTA remote upgrade for whole vehicles, mobile power stations and many other BYD black technologies.

The length, width and height of the vehicle are 4765×1837×1495mm, respectively, and the wheelbase is 2718 mm. The back row adopts a fully flat central passage design, so you can get the same comfortable experience as the seats on both sides when sitting in the middle position. There is plenty of space in the trunk, and 4/6 of the rear seats can be put into the expansion volume, which is more than enough for daily family trips or go on road trip.

Compared with the fuel vehicle of the same class, Qin PLUSDM-i has the advantage of "upgrading the dimension" in technology. The BYD DM-i super hybrid system it carries, with Xiaoyun-plug-in special 1.5L high-efficiency engine, EHS electric hybrid system and DM-i super hybrid special blade battery as the core, creates an electric hybrid technology, and is equipped with DM-i super hybrid special blade battery, adopting the world’s first pulse self-heating and the world’s leading refrigerant direct cooling technology.

As a result, the fuel consumption of Qin PLUSDM-i can be as low as 3.8L per 100 kilometers, which is only half of that of the same class fuel car, and only over 20 cents per kilometer. In the state of full oil and electricity, the comprehensive cruising range of the 55KM version can reach 1180 km, and the 120KM version can reach 1245 km. In the recent Qin PLUSDM-i "One Box of Oil, Across Five Provinces" Challenge, the media teachers who participated in the event even ran the best result with an average fuel consumption of 3.14 liters per 100 kilometers.

With the advantage of high-power motor, the acceleration of Qin PLUSDM-i reaches 7.3 seconds, which is 2-3 seconds faster than that of a fuel car of the same class, and the power is comparable to 2.0T high horsepower. Not only fast, but also stable, Qin PLUSDM-i’s driving performance is infinitely close to pure electric vehicles, and its power output is smooth and quiet, which is very suitable for family travel.

A fuel-efficient is enough to beat the invincible.

After the DM-i super hybrid technology and three first models were officially released not long ago, Qin PLUSDM-i, as the first mass-produced vehicle based on a brand-new technology platform, took the lead in cutting into the market, and both the price range of 105.8-145.8 thousand and the compact level are very competitive market segments of domestic cars, which also reflects BYD’s confidence in Qin Plus DM-I.

In this market segment, the most obvious advantage of Qin PLUSDM-i is still its DM-i hybrid system, which will undoubtedly lead competitors at the same level in ultra-low fuel consumption and driving quietness. Compared with appearance, interior and space, the fuel economy of Qin PLUSDM-i is the most practical benefit for car owners, especially for about 100,000 consumers.

Moreover, it should be noted that the official fuel consumption of 3.8L/ 100 km has a premise of power loss, which shows that the fuel system itself without batteries is also very efficient. No matter whether the fuel consumption of 3.8L/ 100 kilometers can be achieved, from the actual measurement, it should not be a problem to exceed the fuel consumption of the same level benchmark and a tank of oil can run more than 1000 kilometers, and the fuel saved is real.

But in fact, Qin PLUSDM-i has almost no rivals in the compact market of new energy of its own brand. Whether it is Roewe ei6 or MG 6, the product strength and price are not as good as Qin Plus DM-I. At this price, we can easily think of Lei Ling/Corolla dual engine in the joint venture camp, while Qin PLUSDM-i has higher cost performance and more powerful intelligent configuration in product strength.

More importantly, it is also in line with the policy of new energy license, which can solve the troubles of indicators in cities with restricted purchases, while the price of models with the same "green license advantage" is relatively higher. It can be said that Qin PLUSDM-i is a plug-in car, and the price goes straight into the traditional fuel car range.

From the point of view of buying a car, budget and indicators are both hard demands. Therefore, to put it simply, compared with the same price, Qin PLUSDM-i is not only more fuel efficient, but also a green card; Compared with the green card, it is also more fuel-efficient and cost-effective. Therefore, in fact, it seems that there is a car market with great room for growth in front of Qin PLUSDM-i, especially plug-in hybrid cars, which is still a blue ocean.

At this point, the entire BYD Qin series has basically covered the price range of 60,000-200,000 from the most basic Qin to Qin ProDM. The power ranges from 1.5L+CVT, EV pure electricity, 1.5T+6DCT, and today’s 1.5L+DM-i super hybrid system. Various power combinations give you enough choices and basically cover all kinds of car scenes.

Che Yun summary

Lu Tian, general manager of BYD Dynasty Network Sales Division, said: "More than 2,000 years ago, the Qin Dynasty brought unprecedented fission to China society; In 2021, Qin PLUSDM-i will also open a new era of travel. " BYD’s recent product strength is obvious to all, and its brand strength continues to rise. Subverting the cognitive price, coupled with the advantages of low fuel consumption, long battery life, sufficient power and high face value, Qin PLUSDM-i has solved almost all the pain points of users. Whether it can subvert the fuel car depends on the market performance behind it.

Original title: A "Great Wall Cannon" made Great Wall Motor a hit, and Wei Jianjun’s first live show in Baoding was hotly debated.

The continuous improvement of brand power and the steady advancement of electrification transformation have also become highlights.

　　Specifically, as of December, 2023, Volvo Cars has achieved positive growth in global sales for 16 consecutive months, and the sales share of pure electric vehicles has climbed to 16%.

　　In the Chinese mainland market, in 2023, Volvo Car’s new energy sector performed particularly well, with sales increasing by 25% year-on-year. At the same time, from January to November, 2023, the market share of Volvo Cars in the luxury fuel car market in Chinese mainland reached 6.3%. Focusing on the performance of specific models, in 2023, Volvo S90 sold a total of 40,379 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 22%; Volvo XC90 sold a total of 19,615 vehicles, an increase of 11% year-on-year; Volvo XC60 sold a total of 70,811 vehicles, a year-on-year increase of 10%.

　　In terms of new product promotion, Volvo Cars has ushered in new progress in a number of pure electric vehicles. In 2023, the pure electric luxury MPV-Volvo EM90 was launched in the world and opened the reservation in Chinese mainland. In 2024, the brand-new all-electric flagship SUV-Volvo EX90 and the brand-new all-electric luxury SUV-Volvo EX30 will be listed in Chinese mainland one after another. Three all-electric vehicles for different market segments will help Volvo Cars fully launch its new energy market in 2024.

　　At the same time, Volvo Cars is also actively building a new business model for pure electric vehicles and adapting its layout. At present, in addition to nearly 300 dealer operation outlets, Volvo Cars has 46 city center stores and brand experience stores, and the "direct sales+dealers" model has begun to take shape.

　　More than that, in addition to new products and new business models, in 2023, Volvo Cars also established a stable and far-reaching electrification transformation system by continuously promoting localized innovation and carbon neutrality in the whole value chain. In China, Volvo Cars has continuously increased its investment. In 2023, the brand-new Shanghai Design Center and the Asia-Pacific Software Integration Center were put into use one after another, and they worked closely with the brand-new software testing center in Gothenburg, Sweden, to continuously evolve and iterate the safety, software and hardware strength of Volvo Cars.

　　Focusing on the goal of "becoming a climate zero-load benchmark enterprise in 2040", Volvo Cars also actively promotes the low-carbon transformation of the supply chain, including not only the production and manufacturing ends, but also the procurement and logistics chain. On the basis of the previously announced goal of reducing bicycle carbon emissions by 40% from 2018 to 2025, Volvo Cars further accelerated its actions, including announcing at the first chain Expo in 2023 that it would promote the "Hundred Green Electricity" project of the first-tier supplier in China in 2024, and announcing plans to reduce bicycle carbon emissions by 75% compared with the 2018 benchmark in the subsequent COP28 period.

Specifically, in 2023, Volvo Cars released the "World Tree Intelligent Safety System", which further expanded the safety of traffic travel from the traditional active and passive safety to four different safety spaces: inside, outside, body and people, and constituted a more comprehensive safety system.
